1. Describe how you would test the hypothesis that the smallisland and the main island flies are separate species under thephylogenetic species concept. Be as specific as possible about themethods, sampling, etc. You can collect the materials on theislands and do any additional work after being rescued. Show whatyour results would look like if the two sets of flies weredifferent species AND if they were not.
2. Describe how you would test the hypothesis that the smallisland and main island flies are separate species under thebiological species concept. Be as specific as possible about theexperimental methods, sampling, statistical tests, etc. Again, youcan do this work after you are rescued and have access to thenecessary resources so don�t be limited.
3. Assume that the flies meet the necessary criteria discussedabove (i.e., Biological or Phylogenetic species concepts) to beconsidered distinct species. What is the most likely geographicmode of speciation (be specific)?
